Chapter 1532: Chapter 1286: Impending Crisis

The so-called "couple’s noodles," were mostly eaten by Song Yansheng. Although Nuannuan was hungry, she had a small appetite and was full after eating only a small half.

Song Yansheng teased Nuannuan, "Seeing you clamoring in the middle of the night to come downstairs, I thought you were really hungry!"

Nuannuan laughed dryly without saying anything.

After finishing the noodles, Song Yansheng took the two bowls to the kitchen, washed them, and then came back, summoning the two young girls in the living room to go upstairs to sleep.

Ye Mingmei immediately frowned, "No, I don’t want to go upstairs, I’m scared being by myself!"

Song Yansheng was surprised, "By yourself? How come? Isn’t your mother here?"

Ye Mingmei shook her head, and Song Yansheng frowned slightly, "In the middle of the night, where’s Mom if she’s not sleeping?"

Nuannuan hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to tell Song Yansheng about Yu Yao being in the backyard’s prayer room.

Just then, footsteps came from outside. Everyone turned their heads in surprise, seeing Aunt Tong supporting Yu Yao as they walked in.

Yu Yao was also a bit startled when she saw the three people in the living room. After catching her breath, she said, "At this late hour, why aren’t you three sleeping? What are you doing?"

Song Yansheng replied, "Nothing much, these two little girls were hungry, so I went to the kitchen and made two bowls of noodles. We just finished eating!"

Yu Yao nodded, "I noticed Nuannuan didn’t eat much at dinner, and I was wondering if she’d be hungry later. Turns out she really was!"

Song Yansheng pressed his lips and said, "Mom, why are you not sleeping in your room so late at night?"

Ye Mingmei immediately interjected, "Yeah, Mrs. Yu, I woke up and couldn’t find you anywhere. It scared me to death! I even searched for you with little sister-in-law for a while!"

Yu Yao’s eyes flickered, and she smiled, "I couldn’t sleep, so I went to the backyard’s prayer room with Aunt Tong to recite some scriptures. It’s nothing!"

Ye Mingmei’s eyes lit up, "The backyard’s prayer room? Mrs. Yu, you were in the backyard’s prayer room. Just now, little sister-in-law, she..."

"Mingmei—" Nuannuan hurriedly interrupted her.

Ye Mingmei looked at her in surprise and asked, "What’s up? Little sister-in-law?"

Nuannuan’s eyes flickered lightly, and she smiled, saying, "It’s nothing, just now, didn’t you say you still want to sleep with me? I agreed..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingmei immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"

Nuannuan nodded, "Of course it’s true..."

Beside her, Song Yansheng frowned, "Nuannuan, you shouldn’t spoil Mingmei like this, and Mingmei, you..."

"I know, I’m eighteen and an adult now, but can’t adults act spoilt or whine? I don’t care, little sister-in-law promised me, I’m going to sleep with her tonight!"

After Ye Mingmei said this, she immediately hugged Nuannuan’s arm and said, "Little sister-in-law, let’s go, you need to sleep in my room and let Brother Yu have the room to himself!"

After saying this, she pulled Nuannuan along and left, even making a face at Song Yansheng before going.

Song Yansheng wanted to stop her, but Yu Yao prevented him, Yu Yao said, "Forget it, just let Mingmei sleep with Nuannuan. Why argue with a child? Look at you!"

Song Yansheng reflected that he had already spent sweet time with the young girl Wenchun earlier, it was already close to one in the morning.

Forget it, just let Ye Mingmei have Nuannuan for now.

Song Yansheng nodded and said, "Mom, I’ll help you upstairs to rest!"

Yu Yao responded, and Song Yansheng immediately stepped forward, supporting her arm, while Aunt Tong followed behind, asking, "Lady, Mr., you go upstairs first, I’ll make some calming tea for you!"

"Go ahead!" Yu Yao responded.

Song Yansheng quickly took Yu Yao upstairs, helped her to sit by the bed, and squatted down to massage her leg.

He said, "Mom, your legs aren’t well, you don’t have to kneel when reciting scriptures in the future!"

Yu Yao laughed, "Reciting scriptures for our ancestors, how can I not kneel? That wouldn’t be pious enough!"

She looked down at her son, who was thirty now, time flies by so fast, the little baby who could hardly be held in her arms back then.

In the blink of an eye, he’s now reached adulthood.

She felt she had grown old too, looking back at the past thirty years, life feels like a dream, so unreal.

Yu Yao said, "Ah Yu, although I might not need to say some things now, if I don’t, I don’t know when I’ll get another chance..."

Song Yansheng said, "Mom, feel free to speak your mind!"

Yu Yao paused before continuing, "I want to ask you, about Song Zhongming, what do you really think? Have you thought about how to separate him from the Song Family? In my mind, with TK around, it doesn’t matter whether we have the Song Family or not. Even if your father wakes up, his health is fragile, and it would be enough for us to spend our twilight years together, where could he still manage a company? Even if he could manage, it’s been fifteen years, the external circumstances and society have completely changed. He simply lacks the strength!"
